Aluminium is flexible

Your aluminium solution is highly dependent on the composition and quality of the ingot, and the production processes used.

To help you achieve your product goals, we:

Produce small-scale ingots in our laboratory for alloy development or research
Carry out hydrogen measurements in molten metal at the production sites
Carry out temperature measurements in homogenization furnaces
Study the dissolution of master alloys and compare the efficiency of different grain refiners
Use temperature measurements to map the solidification processes

The material

Pure aluminium is relatively soft. To overcome this, the metal can be alloyed with other metals.

Aluminium is not just aluminium. There are hundreds of different alloys and your product needs one. We will help you find it.

The growth of aluminium use in new markets and applications is leading to growth in the number of registered alloys.

We produce all standard and custom aluminium extrusion alloys and tempers, shapes and sizes, by both direct and indirect extrusion.

Some of these aluminium facts are surprising. See for yourself.

Aluminium has a life cycle that few materials can match. Our move toward a circular economy involves an emphasis on recycling aluminium.
